Pizza Party Night (with pie)

I made too many pies... maybe. We'll see how many are left on the counter once the company has dispersed this evening.

I offered a pizza party and Ben requested pie for dessert, apple and pumpkin. Yesterday I considered my apple collection and decided to build a fleet of pastries, six in all. Although six pies waited upon my kitchen table, not one of them was pumpkin, so this morning I set out to fulfill the remainder of the order.

Pastry was mixed, rolled, and fitted into pie plates. I'd planned to make two pies, but when I looked into my supply of eggs, I found they were lacking. I decided to make one pie instead of two. I could freeze the extra crust. I beat three eggs and set them aside, collected the remaining ingredients, and in my distraction knocked over my bowl of eggs... blah! Another baking mishap...

I was delivered from exasperation by my daughter who offered to run get another dozen eggs. While she was gone I cleaned up the mess, washed the dishes, and mixed together everything but the eggs. With her help I was able to bake both pies and get out early enough to visit the bank and accomplish my shopping.

Homemade pizza is on the menu. Not everyone is able to come, but we'll have enough for a celebration. I hope my boy knows how much he is loved.

You should ask Betsy about starting your own pie business....She has a couple of successful ventures, right?Or....find a small shop who would buy your pies!Think about it....How do you do your crimped edging?

Apple pie, Pumpkin pie, and Pizza pie. What a delightful "pie" party. They look so good. I need to make a pumpkin pie. In fact, my company is coming back to spend Sunday night..so I'll make it tomorrow afternoon.

I have so enjoyed making pie and giving it away. Ben got to take home his second pie of the season tonight and almost a whole circle pizza. The pumpkin pie was a hit, even with the kids, especially when I piled on the whipped cream.:0)

Martha...you can never have too many pies. Someone will eat always them or take some home. Sounds like a fun time. BTW I am always having a baking disaster of some kind. You knocking over the eggs sounds familiar to me :-)

I found all the pies a home. This afternoon we took the last apple pie to our son Joe who lives about an hour away. He couldn't come home for the party because he had to work. He was quite pleased at his good fortune. Never too many pies!:0)
